Yes, it's a remake on AMC. Can't believe all the gore-blood-guts and stuff. It's really scary but, I find myself glued to the TV. Anyone else watching it?

No, I haven't seen it. I pretty much stopped watching AMC when they stopped being American Movie Classics and started interrupting their programming with commercials.

Me too. Pam(my pumpkin) got me interested in it. AMC isn't what it use to be. Good classic movies. Like you, I don't even watch that channel. Only hope TMC won't do the same thing.

I cannot recall how many movies I've recorded off AMC when it was a good channel. I still see that same ole familiar logo pop up in the lower right corner of my screen when I watch some of those old movies on VHS.
As with the rest of you, I quit watching that channel when it changed format. Now it's totally horrible!

It's a shame, isn't it? I still miss Bob Dorian. He wasn't a true movie aficionado like Robert Osborne on TCM, but seeing him on the air was like a visit from your favorite uncle, a type of personality that was just right for a classic movie channel.

Every time I watch Audie Murphy westerns from my collection, I remember AMC when it was a very entertaining movie channel. Most of my collection of Audie Murphy westerns was recorded to DVD-RW directly from American Movie Classics and when I am watching those movies and see the little "AMC" logo in bottom right hand corner, it reminds of the day when AMC was my favorite channel, next to TCM. It is a shame that they went commercial and edited for content with their movies.

I may be wrong, but is this the 1930's Boris Karloff vehicle where he was brought back to life after being executed? I remember that Ricardo Cortez was one of the villains, but again I'm not sure if this is the film you mean.
But if it is, how could they possibly remake it without making a dog's dinner of it?

According to iMDb, there have been three versions of A Walking Dead. The first was made in 1936 starring Boris Karloff and Ricardo Cortez; the second in 1995 starring Allen Payne and Eddie Griffin; and the third was a TV series shown on AMC in 2010 starring Andrew Lincoln and Sarah Wayne Callies.
I haven't seen any of them so can't comment on the "dog's dinner" remark. :-)

This new The Walking Dead on AMC is a totally different show. It isn't based on or a remake of those earlier shows. This is a new production that takes place in the post-apocalyptic United States and follows a group of people trying to reach a safe haven from the undead that are wandering the earth.
I wish I knew how to describe it better, but if you go to IMDb and read the synopsis of the first two seasons, then you will get a better idea of what it is about. The third season of this show is scheduled to begin in October. Can't wait!!!

I've been watching this on netflix. I have to say it is a pretty good show if you like zombie gore. I'm about half way finished with season 2. I feel sorry for the character Glenn. They send the poor guy to do all the stuff nobody will do.

The Walking Dead isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if you watch it you will see why it is so popular. It is in my Top 5 television show that I won't miss and have a permanent spot in my DVR. Sunday nights at 8 pm won't be the same when Season Three concludes at the end of March, and we have to wait the summer out to October for Season Four. Also The Talking Dead is s live talk-show that follows each eipisode of "The Walking Dead". This season it is one hour long and features one member of the cast or production staff, and has a live audience, who get to contribute to the show by asking questions of the guest. There are always interesting features like "Behind the Scenes" and interviews with stars of the show. This is a great two hours that I record on my DVR to watch on Monday morning. What a wake-up call!
